Norton SystemWorks 2007 [AntiVirus- Utilities- GoBack- Check IT] Description:

Norton SystemWorks 2007 [AntiVirus, Utilities, GoBack, Check IT] review:
1 stars (Installation Nightmare - Try V-Com's Systemsuite Instead) - I'm still trying to install this software. There are about 7 technotes on the Symantec website dealing with installation problems for this software, as well as Personal Firewall. You better read them all before you even try, I say try, to install this stuff. Count on problems if you have a prior version that you are going to remove and upgrade. I've been working on installing this for about 4 hours, and one time I crashed the computer trying to implement one of Symantec's fixes -- spent 2 days trying to revive it, gave up and restored the hard drive with a backup image. Over the years, this software has become more bloated and problematic. Symantec has been complacent about product quality. Better bet is SystemSuite Pro 6 by V-com. I've been running version 5 for a year on another computer and it works very well, not a resource hog, only a few minor problems that V_com helped me fix. I installed Version 6 on my brother's computer with no problem at all.
1 stars (Big Headache!) - I've been using Norton's Systems Works and Firewall for years and have been very happy with them up till now. Already 2007's versions gave me problems and I could not install easily. I had constant automatic shut downs. Tech help was WORTHLESS! I finally had to reformat my computer and then everything worked fine. Now 2007's version is even worse. I could not install either Systems Works or the Firewall without my computer constantly shutting down during install. Finally, I had to do their fix of completely deleting all remenants of any Norton products. I did a reinstall of SW and my computer did not shut down, but not everything installed. I also managed to get the firewall installed as well. But since then, I've had constant problems again with my computer shutting down and then reboot problems when I try to run antivirus, or other Norton applications. I also keep getting error messages that some file is missing. Tech help was once again, completely worthless. I give up! This product, the tech help and also their rebate problems (I always have to call up about one of my rebates), all make for a crappy experience. I'm going to reinstall SW 2002, which had all the features I wanted, but I will switch to Alarm Zone for my antivirus and firwall needs.
2 stars (Anti Virus Protection Can Stop Without Warning!!!) - The copy protection in this program can stop the anti-virus protection without warning. In my case, every 3-4 weeks I discover that the program must have the license reactivated manually. There is no warning except a red X on the icon in the system tray. Until you notice this, YOU HAVE NO ANTI-VIRUS PROTECTION. Once you reactivate your license, you find that clicking on the button to activate the virus protection does nothing until you reboot your system. I do not recommend purchase on this program since you cannot depend on it to provide protection. This is a known problem and Symantec has failed to fix it.
